very year my pumpkin gets the same toothy, lopsided face. If I’m lucky the top will fit back on and no blood will be shed in the process.

However, on the internet pumpkin carving has become an art form. Never has the pressure to create a perfectly sculptured vegetable been so high. Across social media, images are being posted of incredible carvings depicting everything from famous people to mythical creatures.

So, I have rounded up some pumpkin fails from across the web to make us all feel better about our own lack of talent.

If your pumpkin carvings still closely resemble those you made as a child then don’t despair; I’m right there with you.
